Germany. Spy Scare in Japan i Keep Eye on Aliens War in China Inspiration For New Legislation. TOKYQ.?Japan'a perennial spy scare, intensified by the present China war, has inspired local authorities to farther legislation paalnat activities of foreigners coming to or residing In this country. Under a group of new bills known as home office ordinances No. 0 all foreigners who are liable to "act ! dqntrary to the interests of the , empire or further the interests of an inemy country" will not be allowed to enter or pass through Japan. Also, foreigners who might ''disturb public p*ace or derange \ public morals" will not be allowed to disembark on Japanese territory. Further provisions of the new home office ordinances, effecting ( foreign residents, include: \ 1. A foreigner without full pos- j session of his faculties, with a sub- } normal frailty of mind, in a state of 1 dire poverty, or otherwise liable to I require the aid of others, will not be r allowed entry. 2. All foreigners living in Japan (about 40,000) will be required to apply for permission to remain in this country on or after May 1 and must receive certificates from the metropolitan police headquarters which will enable them to maintain residence. Failure to make application makes the foreigner liable to either fine, deportation or both. 3. All foreign tourists must register with the police captain of the district in which they live, must give their names, nationality, occupation, past occupations, date of birth of father and mother in addition to their own. Also they must report to the local police station at least once a month. The effect of these regulations is to prevent the entrance into Japan of communists, pacifists and others i who are not "sympathetic" with ( the present activities of Japan upon 1 the continent of China. ! Foreigners living here consider , these restrictions to be only the ' formal codification of what has long | been in existence. Any foreigner , living here is continually subject to police interrogation, to police inspection and to an&amazing amount of community interest in his or her affairs. Handcarts Form Basis Of Chinese Transport SHANGHAI. ? Unsung heroes, China's handcart pullers form the basic unit of military and commercial transport. In a country where man power is cheap and the ravages of war have destroyed many motor highways, the lowly handdart and its humble puller are playing an important role in helping China "to win the war." These two-wheeled vehicles? many of which are fitted with old automobile tires instead of metal wheel rims?are capable of carry- t ing 650 pounds each. This type of ' cart required three pullers. Small- I er carts pulled by one coolie will : cary a maximum load of 225 pounds at a speed of 18 miles a working ! day. ; In areas close to the firing line [ handcarts are used almost exclusively for the transport of ammuni- I tion and military supplies. For in- f terregional commercial transport, handcarts are used to carry mail, salt and other staple products; for export transport, they are utilized to move wool, oil, tea and other products.' In Chekiang Province, whose coastline is China's only sea outlet since the Japanese occupation of Canton, authorities have mobilized i 5,000 handcart pullers into an asso- J ciation. Family Paper Bill in U. S. Averages $40 Annually WASHINGTON. ? The average American family uses more than half a ton of paper costing about $40 in a year, economists of the forest service estimate. United States consumption of paper in 1937 was shown to be nearly 16,000,000 tons?more than half of the paper produced in the world? and an all-time record for any nation. Of the 246 pounds of paper used by the average person, about 100 pounds represents newspapers, books and writing paper. The remainder is used as cartons, building boards, wrapping papers and numerous miscellaneous products. Four-fifths of the paper consumed is produced in this country and most of the rest was imported from Canada. Lad Is Mailman for Day; Parents' Love Notes Used ARLINGTON, MASS.?Sonny went rummaging in the attic and stumbled upon several bundles of letters, carefully tied with red ribbons. Sonny decided to be the town post- ( man, at least for a day. Tossing the J mail in his daddy's hunting bag, I the four-year-old protege of Jim 1 Farley made the rounds of the neighborhood. To people not very \ friendly with his daddy and mamma, Sonny left the "fattest" letters. ' To j people who were cross to his newly devised methods of delivery, Sonny left two letters. Daddy and mamma are still burning and hope to do the same with their courtship lettera, if they are returned. i Pit* lower wm n/ieam To Lean, Hiitori?ni Say Whatever opinions may exist concerning the leaning of the famous Tower of Pisa, the tq\*er was built leaning and has not wavered a fraction of an inch in the 600 years since it was finished, according to historians at the University of Pisa. Although popularly believed to bave leaned some time after the Fourteenth century due to the sinking of the earth under the nionument, records show, the scholars assert, that when construction reached a height of about M feet the foundation bad ceded to one side by seven inches. Then, under the supervision of Bonanno da Pisa, the famous architect and sculptor who had carved in bronze the great door for the Duomo in Pisa, it is believed that Bonanno decided to preserve this lean, both from a desire to attempt a new application of statics and because of the fame that would come to him if he succeeded. In defense of this explanation,' it is pointed out that towers sipnilar in design to the one in Pisa .were common throughout northern Italy during the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth centuries, and that Bonanno might well have wished to be distinguished for something more than a bell tower to supplement Pisa's new cathedral and chapel. Thus, although Bonanno did not live to see the tower completed, he had so far advanced its construction when he died that his successors, Guglielmo dTnnsbruck and Tommaso Pisano, had no choice but to continue in his footsteps. Charleston Market Kept On Site Since About 1790 The old Charleston market in New York has undergone extensive repairs more than once since it was first erected on its present site some time between 1790 and 1806. Though antedated by a beef market, which stood from early days almost where the city hail is now, and by a fish mart established in 1770 on an East bay water lot opposite the end of Queen street, the present institution seems to have been the first genetal market in Charleston. It stands on made ground where formerly a creek ran, says the Charleston News and Courier. By 1788 this had been reduced to a narrow canal, which stretched through privately owned . land from the Cooper river as far as Church stfeet. On March 19, 1788, Charles Cotesworth Pickney, John Deas, Thomas Jones, Sims White, John Wyatt and Mary Lingard gave an indenture by which they allowed the city council to lay out a street 100 feet wide through their land, from Meeting street to the Cooper, and to build a public market or markets therein. The buildings were not to be put up for two years, but ohce there were to remain, A plat annexed to the deed shows the canal, crossed at East Bay (then Bay street) by the "Governor's bridge," and the three projecting buildings. Still Resist Innovation In 1913, seven years after his patent for the vacuum tube was granted, Lee de Forest was indicted on a charge of using the mails to defraud. In his attack the district attorney remarked: "De Forest has said in newspapers and over his own signature that it would be possible to transmit the human voice across the Atlantic before many years. Based on these absurd and deliberately misleading statements the misguided public, Your Honor, has been persuaded to purchase stock in his company." A. D. McFadyen, an examiner in the electrical division of the Patent Office, told this to the National Electrical Manufacturers association recently just to show that we are still as resistant to innovation as were our forebears, who thought that iron ships would sink and that the wheels of locomotives would spin on slippery tracks without getting trains anywhere. Best Known Designer Thomas Chippendale, whose name is perhaps best known of all the famous furniture craftsmen, worked almost exclusively with mahogany wood. He developed four variations of style, a development and refinement of the Queen Anne, Gothic, Chinese and French motifs. The early Chippendale furniture was not always so comfortable because of the sharply curved decorative backs. The early pieces by Chippendale bore characteristics such as the cabriole leg, center splats and bars, pierced and scrolled. The ladder backs he made at a later date and he also made the fret backs and square backs. It is interesting to note that the claw and ball foot supposed to have been used by him does not appear in his own book. + Spain in France "One of the striking anomalies' in geography," says the National Geographic society, "is that a small portion of Spain is entirely surrounded by France. To put it another way, there is a Spanish town (Llivia) in ! France. It happened this way: When the present boundary between the two countries was established , nearly 300 years ago, It was projvided that Franfce shouM have the 'Villages* of the old Pyrenees provi ince of Cerdagne. Llivia, the capital ,of Cerdagpe, was no village, however, but a 't^vn' by charter. So Spain, under the letter of the treaty, retained it." The damaged Polish submarine 8BP, with an exhausted crew of 67 aboard, was tt^cetn to a harbor near Stockholm, Sweden, Sunday and dla* armed. Food supplies for the crew were depleted and several men were ill.
